FAKRA Automotive RF Connector Cable Assembly for Vehicle Connectivity
As a specialized FAKRA cable assembly manufacturer, OurPCB delivers automotive RF connectivity for GPS, radio, cellular, and camera systems in modern vehicles. Our cable assembly expertise covers all FAKRA color codes including blue (GPS), white (AM/FM), bordeaux (cellular), green (SDARS satellite), and water blue (camera) connectors for reliable vehicle antenna connections.
FAKRA connectors are the automotive industry standard for RF connections, with color coding that prevents incorrect connections during assembly and service. Frequencies up to 6 GHz support GPS navigation, satellite radio, cellular telematics, WiFi, Bluetooth, and camera systems. Our coaxial cable expertise includes RG174 and RG316 cable selection for optimal RF performance.
Mini FAKRA connectors provide compact alternatives for space-constrained automotive applications. Combined with RF connector capabilities including SMA and other types, we serve complete vehicle antenna and telematics wiring requirements. If the program specifies Rosenberger HSD, HFM, or FAKRA families by part number, our Rosenberger cable assembly page covers the key-code, sourcing, and test-definition details that affect quoting. Our automotive RF cables meet OEM quality standards for connected car applications.
Connected car features drive growing demand for automotive RF connectivity. GPS/navigation, V2X communication, in-vehicle WiFi hotspots, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) require reliable RF cable assemblies. Backup and surround-view camera systems use FAKRA connections for video signal transmission throughout the vehicle.
Every FAKRA assembly receives RF testing to verify signal integrity. Our testing capabilities include VSWR and insertion loss measurement for critical antenna connections. Automotive wire harnesses integrate FAKRA cables with vehicle electrical systems. Contact us for FAKRA cable assembly quotes.
From the Case Bank
A German industrial electrical systems integrator required cable harnesses for a high-volume annual program but faced sourcing constraints on specified connectors.
The originally specified STOCKO connectors faced procurement limitations, and the required PTC components (EPCOS B59100A1080-A40) had a long 12-14 week lead time, threatening the overall project timeline for a 200kpcs/year program.
Proposed Lumberg connectors as a qualified alternative to STOCKO. Provided detailed specification comparisons and emphasized Lumberg's shorter MOQ and better delivery times to offset the PTC lead time bottleneck, while remaining transparent about the slightly higher price point of the alternative.
The customer accepted the alternative for evaluation, agreeing to sample the Lumberg-based assemblies, which kept the high-volume annual program viable despite initial component sourcing bottlenecks.
- 100kpcs/year per product (200kpcs total annual volume)
- PTC model: EPCOS B59100A1080-A40
- PTC lead time: 12-14 weeks
- Connectors evaluated: STOCKO vs. Lumberg
FAKRA FAQ
FAKRA connectors are color-coded automotive RF connectors used for GPS, AM/FM radio, satellite radio (SDARS), cellular, Bluetooth, WiFi, and camera connections in vehicles. The color coding prevents incorrect connections.
FAKRA uses color coding to identify application types and prevent incorrect connections during vehicle assembly and service. Each color corresponds to a specific application (GPS=blue, radio=white, etc.).
FAKRA typically uses RG174 or RG316 coaxial cable for standard applications. Lower loss cables may be used for longer runs. We select appropriate cable based on your frequency, loss, and flexibility requirements.
